Some men take to gun-running because they have a longing for danger
and adventure. Girija Krishnan, an Indian clerk, is not one of
them. Deep in the Malayan jungle, Girija stumbles on a cache of
arms hidden during the communist insurgency. Selling the arms will
help Girija achieve his lifelong dream of founding a transport
company. Two American tourists in the Far East find more adventure
than they bargained for when they get entangled in Girija's plans.
Greg and Dorothy Nilsen had wanted to go on an adventurous trip, to
see some out-of-the-way places. So when Mr Tan in Hong Kong asks
Greg to travel to Singapore and help with a business deal, Greg is
surprisingly receptive. All he has to do is sign some papers and
collect a handsome fee - but this is Greg's first step into the
dangerous world of post-colonial rebellions, Chinese gun smugglers
and Islamic revolutionaries.This classic thriller won the Crime
Writers' Association gold dagger in 1959.
